  • Had to install the feed the beast app to play their stupid modpacks. It was ugly, had ads taking up a quarter of the screen at any time, and it used up a gig of RAM at idle.

    On top of that, the launcher would run while the game was running, meaning you had a shitty electron app always running alongside the RAM hoarder that is minecraft.

    Really just wish they'd let me install their packs on prism, a far superior qt-based launcher that uses my system's theme.

  • Two parties rule

    Jump
  • And it'd be played as "Bipartisan working man Benito Mussolini vs evil radical leftist Margaret Thatcher"

  • Sounds like {insert distro you hate here}

  • Thought this was talking about the president before realizing that's James Garfield.

  • In my experience, Nim is a language that you either fall in love with immediately or just try for a bit before going back to Rust or Python. My experience is the former, I absolutely love this language and I feel most people are missing out on it.

    Honestly I don't really have anything to say about it other than it's just a lot of fun to use. It's got a great macro system, and the compile-time evaluation is the best, imo even better than Zig. It's also got a large and comprehensive standard library, so for smaller projects you don't really even need to use Nimble.

    But other than that, my love for this language is mostly just "I like how you write stuff and how that stuff works." It's a great language if you need to develop fast like Python, but run fast like C. It's a language you can spend years learning the intricacies of, but pick up in a day. Nim was where a lot of programming concepts just clicked for me. It's more than just a compiled Python, and I recommend playing around with it for a bit.

  • I'm not a movie guy so I don't have anything that comes to mind. But if video games are allowed then I'd have to say YIIK.

  • That doesn't stop the Javascript frameworks.

  • Ace here. It's great, but we all prefer New York style.

  • 30 fps and a battery life of 3-5 hours are usually my standard.

  • I did the opposite. I installed an addon that adds Mr Beast to every thumbnail.

  • Saw someone the other day say something like "she's the only one who cracks denuvo. She's insane but it's best not to bite the hand that feeds you."

    My brother in christ the hand is biting YOU. I would not trust ANYTHING she cracks anywhere near my PC. Consider it all malware.

  • Blender. Probably one of the best pieces of software I've used ever.

  • A fairly large amount of traditional Italian dishes aren't Italian. Many of these, such as carbonara, pizza, and tiramisu, were actually invented in the US, and only became known in Italy sometime in the mid-late 20th century.

    Edit: I've been corrected, these dishes do originate from Italy. I should've re-read the article instead of going off of memory.

  • This but unironically.

  • From what I can recall, the reason gold plating is so common is because it protects the connector from wear and corrosion.

  • I tried Tumblr as a replacement for reddit for a while, but I'm just not really cut out for microblogging, so I came to lemmy.

  • "This is gonna make the karmawhoring and bot problem so much better guys I swear"

    -spez, probably

  • I personally still prefer native, but flatpak is my goto for whenever something isn't working or when the official repos are outdated.

    The other day I tried to use Malt for blender but it wouldn't work on the native version because it was using the wrong version of python. The flatpak version works perfectly with Malt, but for some reason I don't feel like troubleshooting, the OptiX denoiser doesn't work.

    Still though, flatpak is a welcome option and is way better than snap.
